Made & Found: Housewarming quilt!

On My Honor readers--you have no idea how honored I am to be given such a bomb-ass housewarming present! Back in July, my good friend Kathy (who has some serious quilting skills) told me she was making me a quilt for my new house. She let me pick from some fabric options, a snappy 6 months later, she more than delivered the goods. Check it!

It turns out when you have such a lovely quilt from such a lovely lady, it goes perfectly anywhere in the house! Don't believe me? Just ask Genevieve. She's been all about this quilt since the moment Kathy set it down.

I always plan to start quilting. I dabble in sewing, but usually I only bust out my sewing skills when I need something fixed (hemmed, altered etc.) or when I need to make curtains. Kathy inspires me. Maybe 2014 will be the year I attempt quilting...like for real this time. I remember when Kathy didn't quilt, and look at her now--there's hope for me yet!

In case you're interested (and you should be) Kathy does a little bit of blogging herself! She charts her progress on various quilting endeavors over atLittle Book Notes. Also worth mentioning, Kathy has one of the best descriptors on her blog--it cracks me up every single time: "Random notes from a single, property-owning woman who lives with cats. I've never fully recovered from learning this makes me exactly the type of person who would have been burned as a witch in the 1600's."
